Effective treatment is essential to restore daily functionality. This study evaluated the impact of a neuromuscular exercise program on individuals with degenerative meniscal tears.Materials and MethodsFifty patients (ages 20-65) with degenerative meniscal tears were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 participated in a physiotherapist-guided neuromuscular exercise program, while Group 2 performed a home exercise program. Both groups underwent treatment three times a week for six weeks. Effectiveness was assessed using the Tegner Activity Level Scale, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score - Physical Function Short Form (KOOS-PS), Western Ontario Meniscal Evaluation Tool (WOMET), pain assessment, and jump performance before and after treatment.ResultsBoth groups showed significant improvements. However, Group 1 improved WOMET General Calculation, Night Pain, and KOOS-PS Symptoms (p < 0.001). Neuromuscular exercises with physiotherapist support yielded superior outcomes compared to the home program. Significant changes were observed in parameters such as \"Pain Activity\" and \"Pain Rest\" (p < 0.001) in both groups, with notable improvements in Group 1. WOMET tests also showed significant gains for Group 1 (p < 0.001) and Group 2 (p < 0.001).ConclusionPhysiotherapist-supervised neuromuscular exercise programs significantly improved pain, knee function, and quality of life in individuals with degenerative meniscal tears. The findings underscore the added value of professional supervision in maximizing clinical outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":15129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"10538127251352977"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144496774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article aims to evaluate the advantages and potential of acupotomy of KOA and to provide a reference for clinical decision-making.Patients and methodsWe conducted a comprehensive search across four databases of ancient Chinese classics to trace the historical development of acupotomy. Seven databases were searched for the meta-analysis of Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that met the criteria to evaluate the clinical efficacy of acupotomy for KOA. Furthermore, we reviewed potential mechanisms underlying acupotomy treatment for KOA.ResultsAcupotomy originated from traditional acupuncture \"Nine Needles\" in China ancient books 2000 years ago, which had advantages in the treatment of muscle and bone related diseases. The results of the meta-analysis following PRISMA2020 showed that acupotomy was helpful for pain relief and improvement of knee mobility in KOA. Experiments showed that acupotomy may treat KOA through a variety of mechanisms, such as inhibiting the expression of inflammatory factors, promoting the proliferation of chondrocytes, affecting the degradation and synthesis of extracellular matrix, and adjusting the mechanical balance of the knee joint.DiscussionThe results of this meta-analysis suggest that the use of acupotomy can effectively improve the pain and increase the range of motion of KOA. The experimental data showed that acupotomy may play a therapeutic role by inhibiting inflammatory factors and changing the mechanical balance of the knee joint. All these can prove that acupotomy treatment has a good prospect.</p>","PeriodicalId":15129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"10538127251349150"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144333216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically our objectives are to (1) explore chiropractors' knowledge of PA guidelines, (2) examine chiropractors' practices in PA assessment and advice, and (3) identify barriers, enablers, and factors influencing PA promotion in chiropractic.MethodsTwenty registered Australian chiropractors were interviewed to understand their perspectives on promoting PA in practice. We used a qualitative descriptive approach with inductive content analysis to identify patterns and themes.ResultsFour themes captured chiropractors' perspectives regarding PA: (1) chiropractors striving to take a person-centered approach to PA promotion, (2) chiropractors had limited knowledge of the PA/SB guidelines, (3) chiropractors relied on their personal intuitions and experience to try and be PA role models for their patients, and (4) chiropractors identified important enablers including longer appointment time and patient motivation as well as barriers such as limited knowledge, skill and time.

This study utilized an inertial motion unit (IMU) and surface electromyography (sEMG) to identify kinematic and muscle activation patterns distinguishing injury-prone and non-prone players, emphasizing prehabilitation's role in preventing shoulder injuries and enhancing performance.MethodsMale padel players with ≥5 years of experience were assessed at the Rehabilitation Unit of the University Hospital \"Renato Dulbecco\" of Catanzaro, Italy, Participants were stratified into high-risk and low-risk groups based on prior shoulder tendinopathies. Surface electromyography (sEMG) and IMU were used to measure muscle activation and movement smoothness during flexion, abduction, and rotation movements.ResultsThe high-risk group exhibited increased mean jerk during abduction (<i>p</i> < 0.05), indicative of reduced movement smoothness. Muscle activation analysis showed significant overactivation of the biceps brachii and under-activation of the trapezius during shoulder movements. Infraspinatus activation was significantly lower during rotation in the high-risk group (<i>p</i> < 0.001). ROC analysis identified predictive cut-offs for injury risk: mean jerk >2.51, deltoid activation <46%, trapezius activation <30.6%, biceps brachii activation >13%, and infraspinatus activation >25.7%, with sensitivity and specificity exceeding 83% for most parameters.ConclusionsThis study highlights the utility of combining IMUs and sEMG for biomechanical and physiological evaluation in padel players.
